AIR FRYER ROASTED SALSA

This simple restaurant-style salsa is made with vegetables that are first roasted in your air fryer. Roasting adds an extra depth of flavor, while mellowing the usual bite you'd get from the onion and garlic. If you have an air fryer with a smaller basket, you can halve the recipe or roast the veggies in 2 batches. The longer you let the salsa sit, the better it becomes!

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 jalapeno pepper, halved and seeded
½ red onion, cut into 2 wedges
cooking spray
4 cloves garlic, peeled
½ cup chopped cilantro
1 lime, juiced
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place tomatoes and jalapeno skin-side down into the air fryer basket, along with red onion. Lightly spray vegetables with cooking spray to help the roasting process.
  • Air fry vegetables for 5 minutes. Open basket and add garlic cloves. Spray lightly with cooking spray and air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Transfer vegetables to a cutting board and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Remove skins from tomatoes and jalapeno, if desired; they should slip right off. Chop tomatoes, jalapeno, and onion into large chunks and add to the bowl of a food processor. Add garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Pulse several times until vegetables are finely chopped; do not over-process. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate to let flavors meld.

AIR FRYER ROASTED SALSA VERDE

This tomatillo salsa comes together quickly with the help of your air fryer. The tangy, zesty flavor can be tweaked to your preferred heat level--use only serranos for extra heat, or only jalapenos for a milder flavor. You could also leave some or all of the seeds in the peppers for an even spicier flavor or double the peppers! If you have an air fryer with a smaller basket, halve the recipe or roast the veggies in 2 batches.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful tomatoes for the best salsa. Roma tomatoes are a good option.
  • Use a variety of peppers to add different levels of heat and flavor to the salsa. For a milder salsa, use more bell peppers and fewer chili peppers. For a spicier salsa, use more chili peppers and fewer bell peppers.
  • Roasting the vegetables in the air fryer gives them a smoky and slightly charred flavor that adds depth to the salsa.
  • Be sure to remove the seeds from the peppers before roasting them. This will help to reduce the spiciness of the salsa.
  • Once the vegetables are roasted, let them cool slightly before transferring them to a blender or food processor. This will help to prevent the salsa from becoming too watery.
  • Add additional seasonings to taste, such as salt, pepper, cumin, or cilantro.
